The world's longest wind turbine blade on the road to COP15!

See the worlds longest wind turbine blade undertake a journey from small-town Lunderskov to Danish capital Copenhagen where it will greet the world leaders at the COP15 Conference.

Wind power works! That is one of the strong arguments from the wind industry at the COP15 conference in December 2009, symbolized by the physical presence of the world's longest wind turbine blade in serial production, the LM 61.5 P from LM Glasfiber.

The blade is a demonstrable and clear evidence of the intensive development that has taken place within the wind industry. Just 25 years ago, the largest wind turbines had blades with a rotor diameter of 15 meters and were only capable of producing 50 kW of electricity. Today, the largest mass-produced wind turbine has a rotor diameter of 126 meters, sweeps the near-equivalent of two football pitches and has a nominal output of 5 MW - enough to power 5,000 European households.

The presence of the blade is part of the Wind Power Works Campaign in collaboration with the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and the Danish wind industry association (DWIA).
